3 Claims.

My invention relates to the arrangement of paper and carbon sheets for use in typewriters and the like where a plurality of sheets and a plurality of carbons are employed.

It is my object to provide a form of interleafing of the paper sheets and the carbon sheets by folding in pack form or arranging in a rolled form whereby the carbon assumes a fixed predetermined relationship with respect to the paper sheets, the carbon sheets being previously partially severed so that when the combined group of paper sheets are torn oif at the end of the given length the carbon sheets will project beyond the paper sheets at the top so that they can be readily extracted from the paper sheets, the bottom of the carbon sheets being above the bottom of the paper sheets in the group so removed and the line of severing the paper sheets being below the line of severing of the partially perforated and partially severed carbon sheets.

It is a further object to provide a plurality of interposed paper sheets having transverse scoring or perforations or other means indicating the tear-01f line thereof and a plurality of interleaved carbon sheets partially severed along the line parallel to but one side of the line of tear of the paper sheets so that in each group of carbon sheets and paper sheets the carbon will project above the paper sheets, and the paper sheets will project below the carbon sheets.

Referring to the drawing:--

Figure 1 is a perspective of a pack partially unfolded employing my invention;

Figure 2 is a side elevation thereof showing a typical folded set of sheets of paper and of carbon having their lines of severance staggered;

Figure 3 is a plan view of the sheets broken away to show the arrangement of the interleaved papers and carbon sheets.

Referring to the drawing in detail, 1 indicates a ticket or paper sheet, 2 indicates a second ticket joined to the first ticket along the line of severance consisting of a plurality of fine perforations as at 3. Any number of such sheets are interposed with their lines of severance arranged one over the other.

Between each one of these paper sheets are a plurality of tickets of carbon paper connected r together. These sheets of carbon paper formed into tickets comprise tickets 4 and 5 having por tion 6 cut away to form a line of severance, such line of severance being broken by the connecting fingers '7 arranged at spaced intervals across the sheet. This line of severance 6 is above or in advance of the line of severance 3 of the paper sheets so that when the group of paper tickets and carbon tickets are removed from the remainder of the sheets along the lines 3 and 6 respectively they are taken away as a unit with the 1930, Serial No. 475,389

(ill. 282-12) side 8 of the carbon tickets projecting beyond the ends 9 of the paper tickets.

Thus I have provided a plurality of interleaves superimposed, laterally aligned paper sheets and carbon sheets both of which are folded along the same line 3 but which are perforated for severance along offset lines, such as 3 and 6, so that the sheets of carbon paper project when severed beyond the ends of the paper sheets or tickets.

It will be understood that I desire to comprehend within my invention such modifications as may be clearly embraced within the scope of my claims and invention.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new. and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is:

1. A manifold pack comprising record and transfer strips in superposed relation having weakening lines dividing such strips into sheets of equal length, successive weakening lines of the respective record strips being respectively aligned, but disaligned with corresponding lines of the carbon strip, the weakening lines of the record strip being made of perforations and the weakening lines of the carbon strip being made of a plurality of separated slits and having at least one slit extending to the margin thereof.

2. A manifold pack comprising record strips divided by spaced transverse weakening lines into a succession of registered record sheets, an interleaved transfer strip divided by similar lines to form a transfer sheet between each pair of record sheets, the transfer sheets being each substantial- 1y equal to its associated record sheets in length, and having a transverse margin extending beyond the adjacent edges of such record sheets, the weakened lines of the record strip being made of perforations and the weakened lines of the transfer strip being made of a plurality of separated slits, certain slits extending to the margins of the sides thereof whereby the transfer strip may be more readily separable than the record strip.

3. A manifold pack comprising a pair of superposed record strips and a transfer strip interleaved therewith in inanifolding relation, said strips having transverse weakening lines at intervals to form a succession of superposed record sheets and interleaved transfer sheets, successive weakening lines of the respective record strips being respectively aligned and at least a part of the co responding weakening lines of the transfer strip being longitudinally offset with respect thereto, the weakening lines of the record strips respectively consisting of a line of relatively short apertures and those of the transfer strip comprising a line formed of relatively long slits and including at one end an opening intersecting an edge of the strip, whereby the transfer sheets of the pack are more readily severable than the record sheets.
